How to properly put audio equipment on top of an antique buffet cabinet?


Dear,

My granddad recently had to move from his house to a retirement home and I acquired some paintings and an awesome antique buffet cabinet. It’s a sturdy handcrafted piece, but the top is not entirely massive wood. I use two MDF boards as a bridge to host my NAD M2 and M50. I’m curious to learn from your advice on how to improve this.

- The units were next to each other as you can see in the picture, I’m still experimenting. What would be best?
- Should I search a marble or granite stone slab to put underneath?
- Is there some small audio furniture that could be used?

Thanks upfront,
Koen

If you do use any kind of footers under whatever material you use for the base be aware that some of them, rubber, sorbothane, etc., will permanently stain a wood surface. Isolate any of those viscous substances from a wood finish.
